The Sunlight Foundation, in this blog post, calls on the House Legislative Branch Appropriations Committee to take measures to improve transparency and openness. Its recommendations include reinstating the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), as well as improving public access to legislative information in THOMAS, continuing to fund the Office of Congressional Ethics, requiring the Congressional Research Service to publish its reports online, frequently updating the Constitution Annotated (CONAN) online, making reports to Congress from federal agencies available online, and publishing House spending information in a data-friendly format.

According to the Sunlight Foundation Blog, the House has promised “to implement common-sense transparency measures this session.”
